Tivo - Home Media Option

Sure, it's more expensive than an audiotron or stringing RCA cables through your house... but you get a Tivo too!! Home Media Option is Rendevous aware, so you just plug it in and go.

One word: HTPC (ok, abbreviation)
Authored by: vansie on May 09, '03 02:23:41AM

Have an older PC sitting in a corner somewhere? Why not check out the following sites: http://www.myhtpc.net ... http://www.mythtv.org ... http://freevo.sourceforge.net.

All of these put rather nice looking (and skinnable/customizable) GUIs on things like playing your MP3 collection through your home theater (or just your stereo) plus there's all sorts of expansion options into playing mpeg/avi video, playing DVD's, streaming internet radio and PVR-type functions when coupled with a supported TV tuner card. The HTPC scene seems to be growing fast right now, and with some simple adjustments in OS X you will be able to share your Mac's MP3's.
For more info on the whole thing:

Maybe it's time to put the strengths of the Mac OS to good use and come up with a Mac-based HTPC application?
